The most careful precautions will not
avail against confederated thieves directed
by superior intelligence. Now and then
the enterprise of an erratic genius will
give useful hints to the capitalists and
their locksmiths. One of the most re-
markablc instances of the kind was that
of the chief of band Of burglars arrested
and convicted about twenty years ago.
''Scottie," not without much natural
pride in his professional ingenuity, after
his conviction made full confession.
His system, like that of most successful
schemers, was as bold as it was simple.
He set himself to attack the papocks
which secure those strong metal bands OF
which have spoken. TO pick them on
the spot was difficult or impossible. On
the other hand, by placing womeb oH then
watch the fastenings might he tar&pered

CORRESPONDENCE
LIFE IN CAMP.

FRosrBURG, MD., August 10, 1887
To the MINING JOURNAL.
AS we desire to thank the people for
their kindness towards us as shown in
donations to the stand of colors, we
want also to let them know something
about how the boys enjoyed camp
life.
The day we arrived in camp we
were very tired, as we had not slept
the night before. We were not in the
best shape to do duty, but when call
ed out for this purpose we responded
although not used to walk a beat in a
drenching rain.
The grub was not what we ex-
pected it to be on account of not
having it cooked in time. There was
plenty Of it, but the cooking arrange
ment was very inconvenient, and we
could not understand why it was, there
were no butter and pies.
But the second day we became more
used TO it and were better satisfied.
We got plenty to eat got right down
to business were always ready for
duty, and anything that was fun our
boys were in for it. The sport was
"leap frog "foot and half" and
"tossng the blanket" Every stranger
that came into camp had to go up in
the blanket, which made plenty of
fun.
1t went very hard with the boys
latter taps" to keep quiet and every
opportunity, when the guard was on
the opposite end of the beat, they
would come out Of their tents and get
into some mischief.
Lieut.. James Thomson paid us a
visit and gave the boys a handsome
set-up, and left Il splendid prize
for the three companies Of Allegany
county to contest for, which, we think,
will take place in Frostburg.
Hon. Louis E. McComas paid us a
visit and gave us handsome pair of
opera glasses to be given to the best
shot in our company. The morning
we came home he treated the com.
pany to a box of cigars.
A great many of the boys visited

The Borden boys, it seems, from the
following announcement, will not be
ontdone by their neighbors of the
"Frostburg Literary and Recreation
Ciub,' so far at least as recreation is
concerned. Says the Frostburg cor,
respondent of the Cumberland Times:
The Allegany and Borden boys will give q
grand picnic at Allegany mines, August Goth
Among the attractions are the following.
A 100-yard foot race for prize of SO, 81

For almost four years, at heavy loss to
myself for every week of each year, l have
edited and published John Swinton's Paper.
These losses continue up to this day. can
not longer bear them. My means are no
longer sufficient to bear any further strain.
| have been wrecked by this paper, and by
the labors associated Herewith, i'll which,
during the past four years, | have sunk tens
of thousands of dollars-all of it out of my
own pocket. The publication OF John
SWintOn'S Paper must now, therefore, be
brought to an end.-John Swinton's Paper.
The trouble with John Swinton was an
overdue appreciation of his abilities, which,
as a newspaper man, the fault-finding public
failed to perceive and substantially recog-
nize. lie wrote an excellent series oflanguage
lessons, and being successful, he pitched into
it wholesale and wrote textbooks on every
subject taught in the public schools, which
were well received. Flushed with success he
plunged into journalism, with what result
the above valedictory informs us.-Cumber-
land Times.
No, sir-"the trouble with John
Swinton was an "oyer-due appre-
cation" of the willingness of the
people whom he served to sustain
him. Instead of "plungtng into
journalism" to serve the public good
he attempted to subserve specially
the interest Of a class. lie pub
lished the brightest, best, keenest
labor paper in the world. His pen,
a very blade Of Damascus, cut and
slashed at vital parts and dug into
the core of every question where
capital and labor had joined issue.
He yelled in the finest diction and
howled in the most elegant rhetoric
for the down trodden bread hunter.
But all to purpose worse, if pos
sible, than that which would win
disaster most dire, or accomplish
suicide most complete.
The average labor mind, full of
political ambitions, and fascinated
by the meretricious charms of pop
ular preterment, is not able as yet to
tolerate brains on it's side.
Hence, it wants no friends from
the ''outside," nor will it trust those
inside. 1t hates rivalry hereafter or
now.
The house thus prospectively "di-
vided against ITSELF cannot be
built.

BECAUSE a man wants an office,
or even because he needs office this
tall, is not a valid reason why he
should be gratifed.
Generally in such cases, the people
prosper better when such men fail.
The latter, once in, are inveterate-
ly tenacious. They become enamor-
ed Of Immortality, and would no
doubt olive always nor welcome the
tomb" if they could hold their place S
forever.
The men who care little or nothing
about office are the best instruments
to promote rotation. They fire.
quently resign, and most always die
some time or other, which gives the
others chance to serve their country
either with joy or grief.
The coming juncture commands
the people to place their most ef-
fective men in the field, and de-
mands of the latter the sacrifice of
the patriot, if not the heroism of the
martyr.
There was never Il time in this
county when there was less room for
foolishness in politics than now.

IT is said the Salvation Army does
not show scriptural or patriotic
Difference to "the powers that be. !"
Whence, it is presumed, the Army
wants martial law.
This is q grave error, both in
action and desire.
But it is one made nearly every
time q new method of warfare
against the world, the flesh and the
devil takes hold of the emotions of
well-meaning but ''zealous-without-
knowledge" folks, and ought to be
borne while the lamp of liberation
"holds out to burn"
The same ardor has retarded pro-
hibition, when more considerate re-
spect for popular rights would have
promoted it.
And we have seen q kindred spirit
rampant among the sons of men who
make up the great knighthood of
labor.
But even here "the survival of the
fittest' is on its way, and the day is
not far distant when the brethren
shall see eye to eye and face to face
when every man shall be his own
Salvation Captain, every citizen his
own prohibitionist, and every "work-
man" his own ''master."

THE republicans of Maryland will make a
painful mistake, and one likely to return to
plague them for some time to come, if they
fail in giving proper care and consideration
to the formation Of their State ticket because
of any absence of hope Of electing it.-F'red-
erick Examiner.
The Examiner is quite right. 1t is the duty
of the opposition to put forth its best men in
the present emergency, and it is to be hoped
it will do so for the honor and credit of the
intelligence of the people of the State?-Cum-
berland Times.
Does that imply that "the op-
position should put forth Its best
men" because the democratic party
has not done so?
And have the "honor and credit of
the intelligence Of the people of the
State" been placed in jeopardy by
the nominations already made?
If neither, what, then, is "the pres
ent emergency ?"

In view Of the controversy which
has sprung up between James Camp
bell and the Homecoming ReuieaC con-
cerning the proper application of the
terms, hog, cur, crank, fool and
blackguard, it is appalling to re-
fleet on the force and effect of that
scriptural comment on the gentleman
that refers to his brother as STOOL"
Happily, the other words were not
current when "fool" was a noun
in the first degree, or something
worse than fire and birthstone would
have been hunted up to serve as an
adeqate penalty. For instance, we
believe ''hog" is the unlovliest name a
man can be called, and yet it is in
the personal vocabulary of our
amiable friends, one Of whom some
time back referred to the JOURNAL
as the Nestor of the press Of Ale
gauy and the most accomplished
pitcher of mud in the directory.
We are pleased 10 note a practical
retraction Of this statement, for we
have felt that We were misunder-
stood, and that the Review had not
accurately forecast its own possibil-
lties. The vindication comes late,
but it has come.
To return. No stranger looking
first at Schaidt, then at Campbell
would suspect either Of owning a
linguistic curry-comb that always
rubs fellow upwards and dives into
the quick. Mild-mannered, brother
ly, and the very pinks of decorum
socially, how is it possible that so
much gal! can be successfully mask
ed under an exterior of uuruffled
sweetness and undimpled loveliness
The reflection fills us with grief, and
we beseech our friel.ds to retire at
once to the privacy of their boudoirs
and endeavor to wash away, in peni-
tential tears, the scarlet stains that
disfigure their souls. If the boudoir
in either case is too public the tear
bath may be omitted.

in many others, is the privilege of
all.
What is left to us, therefore, is in
volved in the term, "policy.'
The JOURNAL thinks it not good
policy for the Salvation Army to
compete for the "madding crowd"
IN the haunts of men. 1t would be
far better to seek seclusion and draw
all men after them. Thus the
churches would learn and profit by
evangelizing methods, which, if eff
fective, should not be patented, copy
righted or in any manner monop-
olized.
1t is not good policy on the part Of
the public, or parts of the public, to
be too lntolerant of religious zeal.
Better bear the evils of worship too
public than interfere with a right
difficult to limit. Better not graft
ify taste for persecution, but rather
hope for the early coming of the day
inevitable when the house built on
sand shall fall.
A little common sense, little
judicial weighing Of rights, little
patience, coupled with a great deal
of assumed ignorance and deliberate
Indifference, will settle a question
which has needlessly aroused two
factions in Frostburg.
